UNSPSC 30171513: Kick plates

UNSPSC 30171513 Kick plates is a Commodity code covering door hardware components and related fittings that state and local governments procure for facility maintenance, renovation, and operations. Recent solicitation activity shows this code is being applied broadly across door hardware procurement, including keyed cylinders, spare cylinders, key blanks, hinges, and bearing assemblies. State and local buying bodies using this code include community colleges managing campus facilities on an as-needed basis, municipal departments maintaining public infrastructure, and cooperative purchasing consortia aggregating demand across multiple jurisdictions. Mt. Hood Community College's July 2026 RFQ for door hardware components (Schlage keyed cylinders, spare cylinders, and key blanks across estimated quantities of 1 to 1,200 units over a 24-month contract term with response due August 7, 2026) exemplifies the ongoing maintenance and replacement cycle driving procurement under this code. Award criteria typically weight price, vendor experience, and availability of service heavily, with contracts often structured on an as-needed basis with no guaranteed minimums.

Recent activity is concentrated in the Pacific Northwest and Mid-Atlantic regions. Mt. Hood Community College in Oregon posted the most recent RFQ in July 2026, while the City of Philadelphia issued a micro-purchase RFQ for vault hinge bearing rebuild work in June 2026 with a total contract value not exceeding $43,000. Sourcewell, a Minnesota-based cooperative purchasing vehicle, issued an RFP in May 2026 for law enforcement equipment that encompasses participation from Washington counties (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima) and extends to participating entities across the United States and Canada, though that solicitation's scope diverges from typical kick plate procurement and reflects broader door and security hardware sourcing. The code shows moderate recent solicitation activity centered on community colleges and municipal facilities departments managing routine hardware replacement and repair.
